How to tie a Windsor and Four-In Hand necktie

09 December, 2009

A quick guide on how to tie a Windsor Knot or Four-in-Hand Knot. The Windsor Knot can best be made with long, wide ties, since the knot is quite complicated, and a short tie might not be long enough to keep it length. The Four-in-Hand is the easy, never-go-wrong knot, so make sure you know how to tie it!

This guide was created to celebrate the Bond Lifestyle 4th Anniversary in 2009, as part of the Limited Edition Bond Lifestyle silk necktie that was released. Read more about the tie below.

Celebrating 4 years of Bond Lifestyle

To celebrate the 4th anniversary of Bond Lifestyle website, a silk black tie with embroidered “JB” logo was available in December 2009. The tie is made of silk and measures 7cm (3.14 inch) at the widest part, and is 150 cm (59 inch) long. This is a thin (almost a ‘skinny’) tie, in the style of the 1960s, unlike many modern ties which are quite wide.

A label with the Bond Lifestyle logo and website address is stitched on the back of the tie.

The tie has a nice silk shine and is very light.

The Bond Lifestyle tie comes with a plastic, credit card-size certificate, with instructions on how to tie a Four in a Hand knot or Windsor knot.

Only 100 of these ties were made.
